Buying reloads? No.
I won't fire reloads if they're given to me, even by guys I trust.
I load my own, and I have more faith in my loads than factory loads.
I've seen every powder charge, I've felt every bullet seat, and I've measured every round.
But buy it? no thanks.
Black hills is an exception, I'd consider that remanufactured ammo just as reliable as factory.
looks like maybe you got a case that missed the sizing die somehow, bad juju, I'd want my money back and I certainly wouldn't fire any of it.
As others have said, bullet setback can cost you a hand.
I've had good factory self defense ammo set back many times, from clearing the weapon repeatedly to clean out lint mostly. Best to just empty your carry gun at every range session and load fresh as part of your cleaning routine.
Gets spendy with the factory self defense type loads I know.
